shadowkatI'm going to see if I can swing this, considering I haven't watched or thought hard about the series since 2010 or thereabouts.
Also, 55 days is a long ass meme. So, am going to do it differently. Instead of thinking hard about it, I'm doing quick off-the-top of my head answers...
55 Days of BtVS
favourite character - Spike
least favourite character - the Annoited One (if more major? Andrew)
favourite female character - Willow
least favourite female character - Amy (if more major character? Harmony)
favourite first scene of a character - Spike's entry in School Hard when he knocks the Sunnydale Sign Post Down and tells off the Annoited One.
favourite season - Season 2
least favourite season - Season 1
favourite season 1 episode - Angel
most horrible death -- Jenny (far more sadistic than Tara, which was accidental or Joyce which was natural)
favourite male character --Spike
least favourite male character ---the Annoited One (if major character? Andrew)
favourite season 2 episode - Passion
favourite episode -- Once More With Feeling
least favourite episode --- Teacher's Pet
favourite canon ship --- Spuffy
favourite non-canon ship --- Spangel
least favourite ship --- Willow/Kennedy
favourite season 3 episode --- Dopplegangland
the episode you’ve watched the most -- Fool for Love
something you wish hadn’t happened -- The AR Scene in the Bathroom -- it was such a soap opera
cliche, the writer's could have done better. Also, Angel's return at the end of S7 did not quite work and cheapened the Angel character. Was plot motivated, but out of character for Angel. Found it cringe inducing. And Caleb - ugh.
something you wish had happened but didn’t -- more interaction between characters like Spike and Willow after the events of S6, Willow and Faith, Faith and Xander,or more exploration of what it meant for Dawn to be the living embodiment of the key. Oh and better use of Ethan Rayne in the latter seasons.
favourite season 4 episode --- Restless
a character everyone loves that you don’t -- Harmony
a character everyone hates that you don’t --- Riley
something you don’t understand -- drawing a blank
favourite season 5 episode --- The Body
a character you wish had come back -- OZ
favourite season 6 episode -- Once More With Feeling
favourite big bad -- Angelus
favourite minor character -- Ethan
favourite monster -- Vampires (the rest were rather cheesy, also...vampires are monsters, they make monster movies about them...)
favourite season 7 episode -- Beneath You
favourite song used in an episode -- Pavlov's Bell
favourite omwf song -- Rest in Peace
favourite friendship - Willow/Buffy
episode you like that everyone hates -- Beer Bad
episode you hate that everyone likes -- Storyteller
character you relate to the most -- Willow
character that didn’t get enough screen time -- Giles & Ethan
favourite buffyverse quote --I'm paralysed with not caring all that much.
favourite acting moment -- Spike in Fool for Love
character you love to hate and character you hate to love --- not sure what this means. Faith
cutest moment/episode -- group hug in Dopplegangland
happiest moment/episode -- was there one? Ponders...ah...Willow's party at the end of Family?
most heartbreaking moment/episode -- The Body
funniest moment/episode --- Buffy and Spike fighting over the rocket launcher in front of Woods office. And Something Blue in its entirety
most infuriating moment/episode --- As You Were - pretty much the whole episode.
most attractive female/least attractive female --Faith/ was there one?
most attractive male/least attractive male --Spike/ Warren
character that grew on you - Tara (then they killed her off, typical)
character you used to love but now don’t anymore -- Angel
what character the show ruined and what character the show made fantastic --- Riley/Spike
what you love about the show -- humor, metaphors, emotional character arcs, ability to try new things and color outside the box
what you hate/what could have been done better about the show - uneven and inconsistent plotting. The writer's sucked at plotting and often feel into formula and campy comic book/soap cliche. I'd have rewritten various arc episodes in S6, S4, and S7. Found a way to incorporate Giles more into the story - - the writers clearly didn't know what to do with him or Joyce, they had troubles writing for adults or parents, and had them off screen. Made the show a bit more diversified, which to be fair was due mainly to the time-period it aired, the 90s and early 00s had issues with diversity, that didn't begin to change until Buffy's last two seasons. Notably, Whedon had attempted to cast a POC in Buffy's role or in Cordelia's role, but it was nixed by the network.
what btvs means to you -- introduced me to a lot of interesting and cool people around the world, changed my life
Well, most of it hasn't changed all that much. Wonder what I'd think if I re-watched the show now?
Can't, no time. But interesting to ponder.
